Hi All.. Glad to have found this site.. I need HELP..
I got a great 85 Fleetwood Brougham D-Elegance...Pulled the 4100 ( luckily car has dual bolt pattter 200-4r and have a small block chevy to drop in).. no biggie (I know its the same setup as a Caprice or 90-92 Brougham) Anyways.. I pulled the 4100 rubber mounts - I bought new motor mounts (rubber frame pads) for a 92 Brougham 5.7 350 and have the motor mount brackets (steel) from an 90 caprice with an sbc. I test fitted them together before mounting or dropping motor - They are the correct ones.
Questions are: Who here has done this swap? Who has done it to an 85? Did you have to drill holes in the frame cradle to get the chevy mounts to work?
I have the engine pined to the trans and the mounts look like the are 3/4" to 1" too far back (torward firewall).
Please help asap as this is my daily driver! I know I'm new here.. But I will pay it back in spades.
